Why does my Shure PSM 300 Speaker System have distorted audio?
- A
  Andrew JacksonSep 19, 2025
  Distorted audio in your Shure Speaker System can stem from several factors. Here are some things to check: * Examine the volume levels at the P3T transmitter, ensuring the meter isn't hitting the overload indicator. * Check the input and output levels of the mixer. Distortion anywhere in the signal chain will persist even if the PSM300 system isn't overloading. * Ensure the receiver's batteries are fresh. * Confirm that the cables are balanced 1/4 inch cables. * Verify all cables are fully plugged into the mixer and the P3T inputs. * Use line-level outputs from the mixer.

  If you are experiencing audio or RF dropouts with your Shure Speaker System, consider the following: * Perform a scan to ensure the receiver is on a clear, available frequency. * Ensure a line-of-sight path exists between the transmitter antenna and the bodypack receivers. * Verify that other wireless devices being monitored, like wireless microphones, aren't experiencing RF dropouts. * If using an antenna other than the one included with the system, ensure it's designed for the correct frequency range.

Why does turning the MixMode knob not affect the sound on my Shure PSM 300 Speaker System?
- A
  Angela GilmoreSep 23, 2025
  If adjusting the MixMode knob on your Shure Speaker System isn't changing the sound, it could be due to a few reasons: * The Stereo-MX/Mono switch on the rear panel of the P3T might be set to mono. * The signals going from the mixer to the transmitter might be identical. * The bodypack may not be set to MixMode.
